Suli is currently working on an addition to the research papers of a CMU retired English Professor Lawrence Dawson. He collected information about midwestern authors. His prior donation is described as follows: 1 box (.25 cubic foot) Papers,
1970-1999, undated include his research, writing, and related
correspondence. Most of the collection consists of Dawson's research,
photographs, drafts of manuscripts, and correspondence about
republishing Della T. Lutes' Country Kitchen cookbook and publishing an
article about Billy Clark, a Michigan minstrel. There is also a typed,
45-page paper with a variety of U.S. Centennial poetry from Michigan
newspapers, compiled by Dawson. (The Clarke Historical Library has the
Lutes papers and three scrapbooks about Clark and minstrel shows.)
